Hiya, and welcome to BYC!

Very sorry about your brother. And sorry you're having to deal with perhaps an ill chicken of his. Hopefully, with the links and information provided above, you'll get her past this. If you need further help down the road with this, be sure to post it in our ER forum.

We're glad you're here!
